⁠Check Links

A lot of times, your depedant services aren't ready to go as fast as your app

For that, there's a check_docker_link command that will check TCP to make sure its up

Usage: check_docker_link <name> <addr> <port>

# Example
if check_docker_link "mysql" "${DB_1_PORT_3306_TCP_ADDR}" "${DB_1_PORT_3306_TCP_PORT}"; then
    export MYSQL_HOST=${DB_1_PORT_3306_TCP_ADDR}
    export MYSQL_PORT=${DB_1_PORT_3306_TCP_PORT}
